The Jewish Home

The Jewish Home is a conservative political party in Israel, founded in 2008 by Daniel Hershkowitz. The party was founded as a merger of the National Religious Party and other, smaller right-wing parties in Israel, and it mostly represented the politically-fractured Modern Orthodox Jewish community. The party appealed to both secular and religious Israelis, and the party supported the expansion of Jewish settlements, sought to end draft exemptions for Orthodox Jews, to ease the tax burden on middle-class and military Israelis, to refuse granting concessions to Palestine, and to oppose same-sex marriage. In 2017, the party held 8/120 Knesset seats.
